Kavango Resources identifies promising copper targets at Karakubis project in Botswana’s Kalahari Copper Belt
London-listed Kavango Resources has reported encouraging results from a recently completed ground geophysical programme at its Karakubis copper project in Botswana’s Kalahari Copper Belt (KCB).
The project forms part of Kavango’s extensive 6,200 km² KCB mineral rights package.
Working in partnership with TSX-listed First Quantum Minerals, Kavango collected controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotelluric (CSAMT) and induced polarisation (IP) data along a section line positioned over First Quantum’s 1,266.40 m mineral systems exploration hole.
This collaboration also provided Kavango with valuable access to drill core across a key target horizon for copper-silver mineralisation in the KCB.
The company noted that such physical reference data is essential for calibrating and interpreting geophysical surveys, ultimately helping to pinpoint higher-confidence drill targets.
Over the past six months, Kavango’s technical team has refined its interpretation of historical geophysical survey data from Karakubis. ,
These efforts have culminated in a targeting model designed to guide the search for potential Tier 1 copper-silver deposits.
Encouraged by the latest results, Kavango is now preparing final drill targets for a follow-up programme scheduled for later this year.
CEO Commentary
CEO Ben Turney described the results as a significant step forward:
“We are applying sophisticated targeting techniques that are delivering promising results, as shown by this comprehensive and integrated geophysical programme.
The work is advancing our understanding of previous drill results while helping to answer critical questions about the structural architecture and potential of the southern KCB to host large Tier 1 deposits.”
He added:
“Karakubis is an extremely large project that appears increasingly prospective for large-scale copper deposits.
These technical advances are key to deepening our understanding of the area’s stratigraphy and represent important milestones on our path toward commercial discovery.”
